This week we're joined by drummer Pat DeLeon, best known for his work in prog rock bands Imminent Sonic Destruction and Tiles. We nerd out on drums, cymbals, heads and sticks. Pat talks us through his music career and the craziest shows he ever played. Plus we talk fitness, and deliver a rousing version of News of The World. Soak it in.
